This week, Scott and Karl read Dorothy M. Johnson\u2019s Indian Country, a collection of eleven stories showing a frontier alive with complex struggles.

Scott says, "The sense of life that comes out of this book and right into your face is astounding to me. The character of the author is all over the thing, I couldn't imagine her writing anything other than a western.\u201d
